"Misha was a huge influence on mens skating and started the trend towards true artistry, paving the way for the likes of Toller Cranston and John Curry. His skating was musical and athletic in the extreme and he was famous for the prodigous height of all his jumps."

Misha was one of Button's favorite skaters and for me the start of my golden era of skating along with Peggy, Janet, Dorothy, Toller and John Curry.

A more innovative era in skating never existed and this group led the way as they developed free skating into an art.

He was divine and I was madly in love with him. I was too young though....tsk tsk.
